LAM affects almost exclusively women and has one of the strongest gender predispositions of any extragenital human disease. Two forms of LAM present clinically, sporadic (S-LAM) and tuberous sclerosis complex-associated (TSC-LAM). TSC is an autosomal dominant genetic multisystems neoplastic disease. A high prevalence of LAM can be detected in adult female TSC patients. Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding and management of this rare disease. Both LAM and TSC are TSC2 or TSC1 mutated diseases that result in overactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, has been approved for LAM treatment in the United States and many other countries. Therapies targeting female sex hormones have shown preclinical efficacy in animal and cell culture-based experiments, but have not been properly investigated clinically. In this review, we summarize current recommendations in the diagnosis and treatment of LAM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1702195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,12]],"date-time":"2020-04-12T22:31:16Z","timestamp":1586730676000},"page":"256-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Lymphangioleiomyomatosis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Kai-Feng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department
